Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.
- Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
bad.
- More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
folio_alloc_mpol()"
- Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
"Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
of cgroup writeback"
- Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
index".
- In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.
- Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
"Restructure va_high_addr_switch".
- The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
simplify code".
- Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".
- Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.
- In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.
- Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
zswap: trivial folio conversions".
- In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.
- In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.
- In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
improvements in pagefault latency are realized.
- David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
fs/proc/internal.h".
- David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
"mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
- Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
"cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".
- Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
and utilize them".
- Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.
It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
all CPUs are pegged.
- hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
"mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".
- Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
thing.
- Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.
- DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
function".
- In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
modernizing its use of pageframe fields.
- Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".
- More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
"mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
!ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.
- Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
folio userspace copying.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.
- A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
that.
- David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
folio isolation + checks under PTL".
- Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
readahead quirks".
- SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
self testing code.
- Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.
- Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.
- Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"
- Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.
- The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
monitor and handle this situation.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.
- SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
does those things.
- In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
utilization.
- Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.
- Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
/proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps".
- In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
related to multisize THP splitting.
- Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
userspace to use all available huge page sizes.
- In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Like for KASAN, it's useful to temporarily disable KMSAN checks around,
e.g., redzone accesses. Introduce kmsan_disable_current() and
kmsan_enable_current(), which are similar to their KASAN counterparts.
Make them reentrant in order to handle memory allocations in interrupt
context. Repurpose the allow_reporting field for this.

This is a sloppy logic analyzer using GPIOs. It comes with a script to
isolate a CPU for polling. While this is definitely not a production
level analyzer, it can be a helpful first view when remote debugging.

Based on the discussion at [1], it would be helpful to mark certain
variables as explicitly "data racy", which would result in KCSAN not
reporting data races involving any accesses on such variables. To do
that, introduce the __data_racy type qualifier:
struct foo {
...
int __data_racy bar;
...
};
In KCSAN-kernels, __data_racy turns into volatile, which KCSAN already
treats specially by considering them "marked". In non-KCSAN kernels the
type qualifier turns into no-op.
The generated code between KCSAN-instrumented kernels and non-KCSAN
kernels is already huge (inserted calls into runtime for every memory
access), so the extra generated code (if any) due to volatile for few
such __data_racy variables are unlikely to have measurable impact on
performance.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter:
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.
BPF:
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.
Wireless:
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API:
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc:
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".

Some tests written in bash source other files in a parent directory. For
example, drivers/net/bonding/dev_addr_lists.sh sources
net/forwarding/lib.sh. If a subset of tests is exported and run outside the
source tree (for example by using `make -C tools/testing/selftests gen_tar
TARGETS="drivers/net/bonding"`), these other files must be made available
as well.
Commit ae108c48b5d2 ("selftests: net: Fix cross-tree inclusion of scripts")
addressed this problem by symlinking and copying the sourced files but this
only works for direct dependencies. Commit 25ae948b4478 ("selftests/net:
add lib.sh") changed net/forwarding/lib.sh to source net/lib.sh. As a
result, that latter file must be included as well when the former is
exported. This was not handled and was reverted in commit 2114e83381d3
("selftests: forwarding: Avoid failures to source net/lib.sh"). In order to
allow reinstating the inclusion of net/lib.sh from net/forwarding/lib.sh,
add a mechanism to list dependent files in a new Makefile variable and
export them. This allows sourcing those files using the same expression
whether tests are run in-tree or exported.
Dependencies are not resolved recursively so transitive dependencies must
be listed in TEST_INCLUDES. For example, if net/forwarding/lib.sh sources
net/lib.sh; the Makefile related to a test that sources
net/forwarding/lib.sh from a parent directory must list:
TEST_INCLUDES := \
../../../net/forwarding/lib.sh \
../../../net/lib.sh
v2:
Fix rst syntax in Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst (Jakub Kicinski)
v1 (from RFC):
* changed TEST_INCLUDES to take relative paths, like other TEST_* variables
(Vladimir Oltean)
* preserved common "$(MAKE) OUTPUT=... -C ... target" ordering in Makefile

Add TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR variable for kselftests. It can point to
a directory containing kernel modules that will be used by
selftest scripts.
The modules are built as external modules for the running kernel.
As a result they are always binary compatible and the same tests
can be used for older or newer kernels.
The build requires "kernel-devel" package to be installed.
For example, in the upstream sources, the rpm devel package
is produced by "make rpm-pkg"
The modules can be built independently by
make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/
or they will be automatically built before running the tests via
make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/ run_tests
Note that they are _not_ built when running the standalone
tests by calling, for example, ./test-state.sh.
Along with TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR, it was necessary to create a new install
rule. INSTALL_MODS_RULE is needed because INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE would
copy the entire TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR directory to the destination, even
the files created by Kbuild to compile the modules. The new install
rule copies only the .ko files, as we would expect the gen_tar to work.

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
"Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following
a warning that was added in 6.2
- Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to,
hopefully, make it more useful
- Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly
with __counted_by annotations
- We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the
delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs
build. A sustained effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has
addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into
sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate
maintainer trees
- Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.
Core & protocols:
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)
- More data-race annotations
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type
BPF:
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)
Misc:
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs
- Add TCP-AO self-tests
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool
Driver API:
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash
- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform
- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute

Tests for drivers often require a struct device to pass to other
functions. While it's possible to create these with
root_device_register(), or to use something like a platform device, this
is both a misuse of those APIs, and can be difficult to clean up after,
for example, a failed assertion.
Add some KUnit-specific functions for registering and unregistering a
struct device:
- kunit_device_register()
- kunit_device_register_with_driver()
- kunit_device_unregister()
These helpers allocate a on a 'kunit' bus which will either probe the
driver passed in (kunit_device_register_with_driver), or will create a
stub driver (kunit_device_register) which is cleaned up on test shutdown.
Devices are automatically unregistered on test shutdown, but can be
manually unregistered earlier with kunit_device_unregister() in order
to, for example, test device release code.

KUnit's deferred action API accepts a void(*)(void *) function pointer
which is called when the test is exited. However, we very frequently
want to use existing functions which accept a single pointer, but which
may not be of type void*. While this is probably dodgy enough to be on
the wrong side of the C standard, it's been often used for similar
callbacks, and gcc's -Wcast-function-type seems to ignore cases where
the only difference is the type of the argument, assuming it's
compatible (i.e., they're both pointers to data).
However, clang 16 has introduced -Wcast-function-type-strict, which no
longer permits any deviation in function pointer type. This seems to be
because it'd break CFI, which validates the type of function calls.
This rather ruins our attempts to cast functions to defer them, and
leaves us with a few options. The one we've chosen is to implement a
macro which will generate a wrapper function which accepts a void*, and
casts the argument to the appropriate type.
For example, if you were trying to wrap:
void foo_close(struct foo *handle);
you could use:
KUNIT_DEFINE_ACTION_WRAPPER(kunit_action_foo_close,
foo_close,
struct foo *);
This would create a new kunit_action_foo_close() function, of type
kunit_action_t, which could be passed into kunit_add_action() and
similar functions.
In addition to defining this macro, update KUnit and its tests to use
it.

Currently the bpf selftests are skipped by default, so is someone would
like to run the tests one would need to run:
$ make TARGETS=bpf SKIP_TARGETS="" kselftest
To overwrite the SKIP_TARGETS that defines bpf by default. Also,
following the BPF instructions[1], to run the bpf selftests one would
need to enter in the tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ directory, and then
run make, which is not the standard way to run selftests per it's
documentation.
For the reasons above stop mentioning bpf in the kselftests as examples
of how to run a test suite.

1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. But for LoongArch,
There are a lot of holes between different segments and valid address
space (256T available) is insufficient to map all these segments to kasan
shadow memory with the common formula provided by kasan core, saying
(addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
So LoongArch has a arch-specific mapping formula, different segments are
mapped individually, and only limited space lengths of these specific
segments are mapped to shadow.
At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just one
physical page (kasan_early_shadow_page). Later, this page is reused as
readonly zero shadow for some memory that kasan currently don't track.
After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are allocated
and mapped.
Functions like memset()/memcpy()/memmove() do a lot of memory accesses.
If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important to be
caught. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since these functions
are written in assembly.
KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants.
Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions in
mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases
with '__' prefix in names, so we could call non-instrumented variant
if needed.

Add documentation on the use of test attributes under the section "Tips for
Running KUnit Tests" in the KUnit docs.
Documentation includes three sections on how to mark tests with attributes,
how attributes are reported, and how the user can filter tests using test
attributes.
Add descriptions of new flags to list of command-line arguments.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
- Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs
- Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing
- Nhat Pham adds the new cachestat() syscall. It provides userspace
with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability
- Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
prevalence of page rescanning
- Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the
get_user_pages() interface
- Liam Howlett continues with cleanups and maintenance work to the
maple tree code. Peng Zhang also does some work on maple tree
- Johannes Weiner has done some cleanup work on the compaction code
- David Hildenbrand has contributed additional selftests for
get_user_pages()
- Thomas Gleixner has contributed some maintenance and optimization
work for the vmalloc code
- Baolin Wang has provided some compaction cleanups,
- SeongJae Park continues maintenance work on the DAMON code
- Huang Ying has done some maintenance on the swap code's usage of
device refcounting
- Christoph Hellwig has some cleanups for the filemap/directio code
- Ryan Roberts provides two patch series which yield some
rationalization of the kernel's access to pte entries - use the
provided APIs rather than open-coding accesses
- Lorenzo Stoakes has some fixes to the interaction between pagecache
and directio access to file mappings
- John Hubbard has a series of fixes to the MM selftesting code
- ZhangPeng continues the folio conversion campaign
- Hugh Dickins has been working on the pagetable handling code, mainly
with a view to reducing the load on the mmap_lock

Note the behaviour of kasan.fault=panic_on_write for async modes, since
all asynchronous faults will result in panic (even if they are reads).
